NEW PLANET

This is cool. Scientists have discovered a new planet that may be able to support life in a nearby solar system. Before you go and pee your pants, let me get to just how nearby this little chestnut is. 20 light years away from Earth. Yikes. The planet is believed to have both an atmosphere and water - both of which come in handy for living.

The planet has been named Gliese 581g. What a pretty name - rolls right off the tongue.
